I'm sorry to hear about that. Welcome to the club. (It sucks!)

Trump realizes that campaigning hard is a good idea, when it's his campaign. But he's endorsed a few lazy candidates who don't take campaigning as serious as Trump does.

Republican candidates need to do more than get signatures. They think that getting signatures equals getting votes, and once they realize that they're going to be on the ballot, they celebrate prematurely.

They need to stoop to the Democrat level sometimes. Do a little race-baiting, or offer to boost the foodstamps. Personally, if I saw a Republican candidate race-baiting, it wouldn't bother me at all, and I'd trust that he/she was doing it with good intentions (to win, so that they could give conservatives the relief that they desperately need.)
